Mastery VS Haste UH Spec

[Stark]

Hi, and thank you for your answers for anticipated!!

I believe that up to the arrival of the gear of Cataclysm we will not be able to exploit well the effect of the mastery, but with the reforge that they have put to our disposition it would not be a bad idea to try since it works.

That you would prove before? Haste or Mastery for big diseases damage??

Thanks for all ^^.

Theorycraftig suggests going for Haste as unholy.
Stat weight should be something like this:
Hit (until cap) > Strength > Haste > Crit > Mastery

So, no you don't want to reforge for mastery.

I tried reforging for haste yesterday and it worked pretty well. Makes a lot of fun playing with around 1000 haste and reduced GCD due to unholy presence, very fast playstyle in my opinion.

Although I couldn't test that in icc. Just some random VoA group and a 3-4 minute lasting fight against toravon

Thank for your quick answer.

I think that, because like every stat in wow, Mastery must reach some "cap" to be full effective, and until Cata we can´t prove it well.

In your particular playstyle what do have reforged? Crit for haste?

Thx again ^^.

It's a garbage stat outside 5-mans. It doesn't matter how much of the stat you stack, there's no magical break point - it's a flat out disease damage increase. There's a shit ton of really bad info going around regarding prioritization etc, but the stat weights Farnion gave are good.

Yes, I've changed my actual Mastery reforge (62% increased dissease) for haste, and the dps burst significatively 1-1,5k from Mastery to Haste.

I hope they fix it, it will be nice for wow, different kind of playstyles.

Thank you very much, I promise I'll come back with another annoying questions ^^.

there are some simple rules:
if you are not hitcapped: reforge into hit (but notice: you can easily go for every socket bonus, also with blue sockets, using str / hit gems, nightmare tear is now kind of useless). Of course you want to reforge into hit beginning with expertise and ending with haste.

If you are capped reforge your hit, expertise, crit into haste as possible. If haste is already present, reforge into crit.

Items which already have crit and haste (or hit necessary to reach the cap) don't have to be reforged.

expertise can always be reforged.

Trinkets can also be reforged btw (dbw and wfs for example).

And hit rating conversion has changed as far as I know. You will need something around 246-250 hit to be capped as a non-draenei class.
